hmmm. in my experience this usually is caused by switches that are not well equipped for the number of systems on the lan. I guess your solution lies in upgrading the switch to some kind that can arp-cache all mac-addresses on the subnet, not in pestering it into caching the mac addresses important to your application. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Remco Post SARA - Stichting Academisch Rekencentrum Amsterdam http://www.sara.nl High Performance Computing Tel. +31 20 592 8008 Fax. +31 20 668 3167 "I really didn't foresee the Internet.
